Introduction to Energy and biofuels The main manufacturing costs in the European forest industry are the costs of fibre raw material, i.e. wood, recovered paper and market pulp. In Finland and Sweden, the cost of virgin wood is the biggest cost component 1. Energy costs are 12–17 % of the total manufacturing cost and thus
